Imtiaz Dharker: Shadow Reader

Imtiaz Dharker has long been an internationally acclaimed poet. Her 2023 collection, Shadow Reader, is a radiant criss-cross of encounters, messages and Punjabi proverbs, shot through with the dark thread of unwelcome prophecy. Through poetry and all that it can reveal or willfully erase, alongside 16 original black and white drawings, the collection acknowledges the everyday and its shadows, while also being an irreverent, playful celebration of life.

In this event, Imtiaz will speak about the collection and show projections of the illustrations within. Hosted by Harriet MacMillan, this is an event not to be missed.
